Hi Linda, Thanks for stirring up interest in the Runnymede project in your e-zine. Your history is quite accurate. I have several pictures of the Runnymede -- both before and after the move from Kansas to Oklahoma. I also have pictures of the Runnymede colonists who enjoyed having their pictures made with guns, knives and big western hats. I suppose these wild west pictures were meant to impress the folks back in England. I'll attach a few lo-res pictures (I have several more, mostly of settlers). Any pictures with a file name beginning with KSHS should be credited to the Kansas State Historical Society. We would love to have a picture of the building being moved. If someone has such a picture we will carefully make a copy and return the original to its owner. -- Jim Richey - Email: j.richey@sbcglobal.net

Hi there NW Okie I am out researching for the newest information on maryland genealogy and encountered your site. Although Runnymede Project - Alva, Oklahoma... wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it certaninly got my attention and intrest. I see now why I found your page when I was looking for maryland genealogy associated information, and I'm glad I stopped by even though this isn't a perfect match.
